Now that I've convinced you (hopefully), let me recommend some PS2-Remastered-on-PS3 purchases. Additionally, the original Fat model has been somewhat notorious for hardware failures, so there's some concern about its longevity for preservation purposes. The Slim models are also newer and should have a longer lifespan. Okay, a final question you might have for me is, 'but why wouldn't I just get a PS3 Fat anyways? Sure, the Slim models can play most PS2 games, but why not just get a Fat and be safe?' Due to people buying up the original PS3 specifically for their PS2 emulation capabilities, the Slim models are much less sought after, and therefore much cheaper.

It is true that you won't be able to play all PS2 games on the Slim models (I'll be referring to the Slim and Super Slim collectively here). Hello everyone Welcome back to my channel, for today's tutorial/guide I will be showing you guys on how to transfer PS2 Game Save-Data to your modded PS3 I. In fact, all three of these games actually come in collections that have all their respective PS2 releases on one disk. Now, before you say, 'but only the PS3 Fat plays PS2 games!'
